It's not based on the Royal Oak. The original G-Shock square was octagonal and this was meant to be a redesign of that case shape. Saying Casio just copies other brands is kind of lame I think
I have the exact same model and colorway. I've worn it nearly daily for work, and it's a beast, but quite classy at the same time. It's currently sharing daily duty with my more recently acquired GW-B5600CY, my first G-Shock square. I love it as well; as it also has Bluetooth, Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6.
Been using my yellow Casioak its been a stellar beater watch, always in H battery level thanks to tough solar even a few minutes under the sun, or enough ambient light and even indoor lighting is enough to keep the battery topped up. Time is always accurate it syncs properly with my phone. Its not as bulky as regular ol' Gshocks but still as tough and durable. I honestly don't mind the loss of Multiband 6 it keeps the price down and its better on the master of G class.
@@notoriousnerd Yes the yellow one is the most readable of all the colours in this watch series, I know from experience because I have the same yellow watch and I wear it on a daily basis.
One of the cool things about this watch is that you can easily buy straps and cases in different colors and materials to change it up completely without getting another watch.
The blacked out one is my first gshock, looks and feels nice on my wrist. The negative and small display makes it hard to read at each and first glance though. I’m coming from using a digital watch for years but it’s nice to have analog again, my brain will just adjust better to it in time. Wish the left dial showed the day like non Bluetooth version or at least have the digital show time and day, not just time and seconds. Maybe that can be updated? But heard Casio takes awhile to upgrade things. I only have 5 watches lol but I would want another gshock, maybe the gb200 or h5600, ones with step tracker and heart sensor are nice but we’ll see. Or I may just get a used Ultra 1st Gen. thanks for the video
I have Tough Solar & Bluetooth on a different G-Shock, I use the app and time synchronisation, it's so easy to use and works really well. I really like the Casioak but last time I looked at them they didn't have the Bluetooth or solar option, that's a game changer for me and I just ordered one. I think it'll look great with a case/bracelet mod.
I’ve had this one for a few months. Unfortunately the standard Casio/G Shock straps are not long enough to fit me comfortably so I have to fit aftermarket adaptors and straps. Still a fantastic watch though. I have seven G Shock watches in my collection now and this is one of my favourites.
yeah i have abut 3 or 4 of these, 2 resin, one all metal with resin band, that one doesn't have solar or bluetooth but it was my first casioak and the best looking of alll

How do you store your watches? I have ~22 or so. I have a couple of watch boxes but with that many, would LOVE to find a VERY large box. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
When you setup an alarm on your phone and it syncs with the watch, does the "name" of the reminder somehow show up on the phone perhaps by scrolling the alarm / reminder name?
I have a question can you changed the contrast of the digital screen to dark or negative instead of Grey or positive? I noticed other similar g shock is dark
Thanks for tuning in! To my knowledge, no notification abilities regarding calls/texts. Still awesome to be able to sync the time and adjust the watch via the app.
yes, GA-B2100, the world time has many cities and you can hold the mode and light button ( A and B) and it’ll swap your home time and world time. So if you have UTC and WT as Tokyo, hold the 2 buttons and your home time is Tokyo and your WT is UTC and ofc you can swap it right back. also simple to turn off receiving when on airplanes
Is the watch scratch resistant or can it easily be scratched? Because there are exactly same model got scratched. Do you mind to have scratches on your watch (gab2100-1acr)?
As it has Mineral glass which is more shatter proof... Scratches will come but not very easily..... If this would have sapphire glass... It will be godly... But according to the price.. this is a perfect timekeeper.
It’s a G-Shock so it will survive pretty much anything but you have to expect scratches and dings from the conditions these watches are designed to cope with. A G-Shock without dents and scratches is a closet queen and a waste of money. Buy it, wear it, and accept that it won’t let you down when it comes to telling the time.

I bought one. This is a fantastic watch. Seamless link with the app. For the money -- even new -- it is a stunning deal.

Got the same square love it with the matching Oak

Excellent points, thanks so much for tuning in!
my new dream watch! great review!
Chillest watch reviewer ever.
That’s awesome, many thanks!
True
I have this watch in yellow, really like it but wish it was a bit more readable.
Isn't the yellow one the most readable one of all the colors

Just bought on of these online, arrived today. Great looking watch, but I was surprised how small it was.
As someone with small wrists I was very pleased to see that on arrival.
i wish the LCD was a little bit bigger
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the amzwatch’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

Had the exact same as when it came. Good in summer, however dosent really work in places that have winters. Battery will die out - so i sold it
You were able to buy solar watch charger rather than sell the watch
Yea well 😊 i bought the GA-900 instead. Has a battery life of 7 years 👍
I have Tough Solar & Bluetooth on a different G-Shock, I use the app and time synchronisation, it's so easy to use and works really well.

Awesome looking watch, great review. Definitely will acquire one. Thanks.
They just released the GA-2300. Do you know when we should expect the GA-B2300?
Great review! This is a cool G-Shock
Thanks for tuning in!

That’s why I like the ga2100bce better
Same as mine. You won't regret it.

Whether this model has step counting?

Excellent review.
Thanks for watching!
Also, is the green one on your desk the Pro-Trek? What model is it?
Very good review. I wonder if it is possible to use the LCD in reverse color as in GA-B2100-1A1
Ouch, we only get cardboard box. No more that Black tin packaging 😂. I do like that black tin G-Shock packaging
Gotta love the new pattern G-Shock cans! Thanks for watching!
I have a question can you changed the contrast of the digital screen to dark or negative instead of Grey or positive? I noticed other similar g shock is dark
No you cant, it depends on the color(the yellow,Green,Blue, etc) you buy, some have positive or negative display
How's the fit on the 6.1 Inch wrist..?
I thought the channel logo was Ron DeSantis 🤦🏻♂️ 😂
Why not chosen the yellow one?
Why is that yellow version so popular? It doesn't look serious. Rather like a toy to me..
Hi pal, will the watch notify you about incoming calls or text? Great video 👍
Thanks for tuning in! To my knowledge, no notification abilities regarding calls/texts. Still awesome to be able to sync the time and adjust the watch via the app.
Isn't it supposed to be Casio Thailand instead of Casio China?
G Shock GA B2100 or G Shock GA B2100MF?
Why you not choose the Yellow colour?
Probably because yellow looks more like a toy. Only the black versions look elegant and serious enough.
He didn’t chose the GAB2100-C it’s because it’s on the $160 mark.
Does ga-b2100-1acr watch synchronize time automatically solely and/or with phone Bluetooth connection?
needs bluetooth connection with the phone to automatically synchronize with the phone's time
Is the watch good for travel use and synchronization around the world?
yes, GA-B2100, the world time has many cities and you can hold the mode and light button ( A and B) and it’ll swap your home time and world time. So if you have UTC and WT as Tokyo, hold the 2 buttons and your home time is Tokyo and your WT is UTC and ofc you can swap it right back. also simple to turn off receiving when on airplanes
Yes, easy peasy with the app.

auto light ?
cool
AE1200 is a better watch
This one is better than that, if you take a look at the AE1500WH and the w737h they do not bring tough solar and Bluetooth functions.
